Pink Walk Sunday – October 22

This is your opportunity to get involved and a make a difference! This year’s Making Strides of Memphis will be on Sunday, October 22 (event begins at 1:30 p.m. and the walk starts at 3:00 p.m.). “Pink Walk Sunday” is an initiative to support breast cancer.

The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk unites communities to support each other by honoring those touched by the disease and raising awareness and funds to fight for a world without breast cancer. As the largest network of breast cancer events across the nation, more than one million passionate participants support Making Strides events each year. Dollars raised by Making Strides supporters help the American Cancer Society ensure no one faces breast cancer alone by funding innovative breast cancer research; promoting education and risk reduction; and providing comprehensive patient support to those who need it most.
